Russian over 60 years old squats 992lbs

I wonder if that's on the level. The guy doesn't appear to have any size or muscle to his quads????
 
I'm not vouching for it. When it deadlifts the bar does seem to behave in the right way but the squat almost seems too composed I must say, he's a circus guy so could be or could be no?
 
no you can tell from the front the squat isnt close to level
its almost a half squat
 
i watch the second video where you get the side angle yeh he gos down more then a half my mistake lol

It could be real though, because Fred Hatfield had relatively small quads and w/o doubt squatted 1000lbs. Very often you can't tell the power within the package by looks alone.

I think some people are just freaks of nature. orangutans don't appear to be very muscular but they are extremely strong, and would overpower almost any human with ease. Maybe this guy's like that.
 
Check out 1:44 in the first video, where the dude "toys" with that 100lb weight as he loads it on the bar. He does almost a front-raise with it in a nonchalant manner, then he reps it overhead and out in front of him like its nothing. I say bogus.

I don't think that was a hundred pounder. I couldn't see the kg on it but it's way too thin to be a hundred i think. It's gotta be real, look at how bad that dude is shaking to keep himself stable. shit i'll squat heavy and i don't think i've ever shook like that before.

My bad you're right...the 100's are already loaded when he does that. I think that plate says 20kg that he does it with. IF its real, "SICK" is an understatement fosho! :eek: :igok:
 
Love this part;

Valentin Dikul was born 03.04.1948 in Latvia, soon after the Second World War. His father was killed action, his mother died in giving to him. Little Valia (short name from Valenrin) was brought up in the birth orphanage, difficult and hungry, spent in with his life fights for leadership for a bread. The traveling piece of circus was his only real joy in life. Valia would run away to spend the entire day there. He very early that decided he must become a circus performer. He was talented and fantastically devoted. He quickly mastered the juggling and acrobatics, but finally decided to become a trapeze artist. He was fifteen years old when he performed his first number.

In 1962, when Valentin Dikul was performing a circus routine in Kaunas, Lithuania, a cable on his trapeze snapped, sending him plummeting 15 meters to the floor and breaking his back. Doctors told him that he would never regain the use of his legs. He was 16 years old.

Dikul had always dreamed of becoming a circus performer, and he was determined to get back on his feet and return to his passion. Immediately after his release from the hospital, he began a rigorous self-imposed rehabilitation program, often passing out from exhaustion on the floor of the gym.
